How do you describe petroleum?
Petroleum as defined by wikipedia is:Petroleum (L. petroleum, Devon Greek πετρέλαιον, lit. "rock oil") or crude oil is a naturally occurring, flammable liquid found in rock formations in the Earth consisting of a complex mixture of hydrocarbons of various molecular weights, plus other organic compounds.Because petroleum is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons, no two oil fields will have the exactly the same composition. Thus one means of describing petroleum is by its chemical components.A second way is by the general properties of an oil. Heavy oil is usually considered to be 10 to 20 degrees API, with additional qualifiers for viscosity. Other "oil types" such as "West Texas Sweet Crude" are useful in the pricing of crude oil.See related link..
